              Normally I'd say go ATI...but ni the case of mid or low level cards nVidia can't be beat.

              Find yourself a nice 7600gt instead. Unless of course you are stuck with AGP...in which case I cannot offer any suggestions.
              .
              .
              .
              The guy who said even the 512mb version sucked...is because the 1600 has only a 128mbit memory controller, which effectively means you'll never even use half of that 512mb to its full use. Those cards(the 512's) are meant for home theatre and video editing.

              It's like putting a pot of gold at the top of a building, and giving a climber a ladder that only goes half way.

                  Um, no, the brand entirely depends on what price point you're looking at. At $450, the ATI x1950xtx would be best... and I usually recomend an x800gto for the $120 price range for AGP, and again for the sub-$100 range in PCIe.

                    Sense you guys apparently don't know

                    In Battlefield 2:
                    ATI is better for 4X AA then Nvidia by a good bit (2 cards, same price = ATI > Nvidia)

                    But if you're not going to use it, which would make the game look worse then either is ok..

                    ____

                    _____

                    But certain there are certain models, certain brands, overclocked versions, different stores, special deals, ect...

                    A lot to consider



                    If anyone needs help choosing a good card just tell me:
                    price
                    resolution
                    apg/pci-e
                    if you want to use AA
                    and power supply
